The original New Macross class was 1.6km long. For the Copernicus II, I shrunk it down to a quarter, at 400m. In a sense, its another Macross Quarter that looks like a New Macross.

Oh trust me, the Nanoha x Dog Days xover gave us some much needed grit, and I got to show off my Nanoha OCs post Force upgrades.

Working.

Also, working out what Tabane's elevator is like. There'd be 3 of them in a bundle, the Rabbit Hole (the IS carrier) being its core control. When the Rabbit Hole is seized, the 3 break up and move to their predesignated locations: Africa, Malaysia, South America.

The Rabbit Hole is renamed the Copernicus II. But no one has managed to reskin the ship, so it remains neon pink with the hull dotted with strobe lights

And Tabane disappears once again, making the next present for her little sister...

“Of course! I’ll see you guys at the station!” Jinrai answers as then makes his way towards his car that’s parked nearby.

“Okay, Jinrai-san! Ina-kun, shall we?”

“You have no issues with that?” Inami bluntly asks.

“Of course not, silly. We’ll get to go sightseeing along the way… from the sky!” She exclaims with anticipation.

“Well okay then.” Inami replies then proceeds to suit up in the Minerva Kai.

He then sweeps her off her feet, holding her in his arms like a princess.

“Hold on tight, Tsu-chan.”

“Okay!”

Powering up the thrusters, the Minerva Kai slowly ascends as Tsurugi keeps her firm hold.

“Off we go!” He claims as the thrusters hum loudly, accelerating the Minerva Kai as the couple head for Futatsui.

Yeah, kinda. The Social Segregation, well, more like authority segregation is much worse than Canon.

Basically, to compensate the lack of number, Armored Stratos was made by huge quota (about 110 A.S. for every I.S. viable and keep growing)

Ichika himself still an amateur, however he's one of the few surviving A.S. pilot of Aomori genocide (Where two I.S. and about 278 A.S. is destroyed by a single BETA known as ETX).

He and Dan then reassigned to rookie Stratos Guard Company 208, neither revealing their status as experienced pilot. It was later than Ichika was found to be adept I.S. pilot.

Ahh...

Mine's a lot more benign. Set within the same universe as IS, and SHOOTiNG ST@RS. Basically, the same lab which produced the Rafless is scouting for a good rider, and are looking for someone named the [Lightning Bullet] Raidan. Meanwhile, Dan is playing his favorite game at the biggest lan center in town, and groaning about how Ichika gets all the girls.

The lab people are ambushed by PT, a cute scientist barely manages to escape with Rafless, and the machine crashes right at Dan's feet. Realizing that this was [Raidan] she hands him the unit, tells him to get away, and passes out from her injuries.

Dan rides the Rafless. The rest is history. Thus begins Dan's catch-up with Ichika.

In my fanon, I was going to introduce a 1-seater microfighter called a Pieses. Rafless is now set-up as the prototype for the Pieses.

@ Senpai, Rain, and Meistah - Kuu and Ange take some tips from the SAW series. The three protags get screwed over.

Spoiler:

POV: Ange Stark.

Ange rubbed her hands in anticipation for the coming "experiment". Finally, a chance to see how humans reacted to a hypothetical situation such as this!

"Is the area ready?" Her friend went up besides her and asked in a tone that hardly hid her own excitement.

Ange nodded and turned to face her, "The area's secure, the lighting's been dimmed to sufficient horror inducing levels, and the appropriate measures have been taken to ensure they can't use their equipment to escape" She answered.

Kuu smiled and nodded, pleased at the progress they've made.

"Are the first three test subjects ready?" Ange asked.

Kuu pointed at the corner of the small room towards the stunned figures of the three "test subjects" that were going take part in their little "experiment" today. "Yes, vital signs are stable and they've been successfully tranquilized. Needed extra dose for the albino, however." She seemed to sigh a bit when she explained the last part.

Ange shook her head as she heard the explanation. Really, the young albino's resistance to drugs made it hard to capture him and the fact that other one was an IS pilot just made things harder for the both of them.

"We should start the experiment soon." Ange went over to the corner and grabbed the one dressed in the white uniform before dragging him to the chair and strapping his arms. The same was done for the other two.

Ange looked at her friend and smiled.

Kuu looked at her friend and smiled.

Both of them nodded at the same time before declaring in one voice:

""Experiment begin!""

POV: Irish

Irish awoke to the world spinning all around him and the sudden need to vomit out his insides. He was all too aware of what this meant.

'Tranquilizer drug injected into me, after effects still kicking in.' He thought dryly. He vaguely felt something claming around his jawline but he had no mirror to see for himself.

He waited a few seconds for the dizziness to fade before looking at the area around him. The room around him was small, no bigger than an average room in the Academy. Blank walls were smeared with some remnants of dust, glass windows were on the four sides of the room and a single door to the on the far end seemed to be the only way out.

'Got to get out of here!' He struggled to move his hands and found the straps on his arms weren't budging. They seemed to be made from some kind of cement or stony material, no chance of being able to slip through them.

"Mmmmph!" He heard someone mumble incoherently.

He looked to the side and saw two other figures in similar circumstances to him. One was a young man of 15 dressed in a white uniform. The other was an older figure dressed in some kind of casual suit. Both of them were struggling to escape as well.

"..." He was about to yell out before he realized the thing strapped to their jaws was also attached to his. Yelling out would have done no good.

'What's happening? Who did this?'

Before he could think any more, the door on the far end opened and a small bunny puppet walked into the room. Normally that would be cute, right now it just looked really unnerving.

'What the-'

"Hello, I want to play a game." The voice that emanated from it was feminine but the mischievous and carefree tone made them all shiver when they heard it. "You three have been chosen for special reasons that you may or may not know. I'm assuming you three know each other, this will help you later."

All three of them struggled to escape as the doll in front of them talked but none were successful.

The rabbit took no heed of their efforts and continued,"You're no doubt aware of the device strapped to your face." It pointed to the thick metal vices clinging to their face. "It is a curious invention. I call it the "Reverse bear trap", in 60 seconds it will snap open and break your jaws, killing you instantly."

The three of them struggled even more after they heard the bunny's explanation but they still had no success.

"There are keys on the ground there" She pointed at in front of them to the two keys lying on the floor. "Once one is used it will stay on the trap and become unusable again so one of you will have to make the choice to give up his life for the other two."

The bunny turned to leave the room and looked at them one last time before closing the door."Let the games begin."

60 seconds.

Irish struggled as hard as he could against the straps but they wouldn't loosen no matter what. He was vaguely aware of the other two struggling against their traps as well.

'How do we get out!?'

45 seconds

He stopped struggling and tried to think of a way to escape as fast as he could. 'The stone's too tight and our legs are useless here.' He looked at the others and saw something that made him realize something.

'The front parts are studded!' He quickly brought his jaw down as hard as he could on the stony straps until crack started to appear.

30 seconds

'Come on!' He smashed into the straps one more time before they broke open. He quickly did the same to his other arm.

20 seconds

'Need to hurry!' He quickly picked up both keys and ran to the other two before unlocking the vices strapped to their heads. He knew if he tried to unlock his first then they'd all die beacuse he'd take too long.

10 seconds

He looked around the room for anything to help him but all that was there was there was the window bars and that wouldn't be any--wait!

5 seconds

He quickly rammed his head through the window and jammed the trap through the horizontal bars just before the time ran out.

0 seconds

*BAM*

The trap opened.....and didn't go all the way. The traps "lips" were held between the two bars and stayed there as Irish pulled it off his face.

He slowly made his way to the to other two before helping them out of the the chairs. Thankfully, none of them got their jaws broken.

"Are you two alright?" He asked them.

Kyuukai grit his teeth before he answered, "Yeah, I'm fine. Ichika?"

Ichika was shivering slightly but he managed to answer, "I'm alright as well."

Irish nodded before he collapsed to the floor on the floor and tried to catch his breath. Whoever did this was going to pay, that was a promise.

POV: Ange

On a dark room filled with a console and security monitors, two figures sat and waited as their first experiment finished.

"You know, maybe telling them the traps were lethal when they weren't was a bit too much" Ange muttered to herself. The both of them just finished watching the test and they were honestly surprised at the results. Who would've thought that he'd use the trap itself to escape?

"It's fine, it made them more serious about completing it." Kuu nonchalantly replied to her friends comment.

"Still, that was surprising. I thought for sure at least one person would get caught in the trap but one of them broke free and helped the other two out of theirs." Ange laid back on her seat and looked at her friend.

"Yes, the one who broke free of the trap is.....interesting." Kuu still said this with the same tone as before but her face blushed slightly. "I mean his capacity to escape even in an unexpected situation is very interesting" She immediately corrected.

Ange immediately took notice. 'Woah, looks like our girl genius is getting a crush on the shota' She thought with a chuckle. Oh, the wonders of science.

"Need more data on him..." Kuu whispered softly.

'Uh-oh, looks like he's got more trouble in store for him now'

Kuu pressed a button on the console and the door the three were in opened.

"Let the next test begin."

Please tell me what you think The protags will have to help the other "test subjects" escape their tests and get out of the building with their sanity intact

YES Please, I just finished "Unlimited", because we tone down the GrimDark in sacred twins, I want to apply it here.

That's good. Anyway, you mentioned in your previous post that your toning down the GD for sacred twins? Does that mean we'll be seeing more humor now? I want to see Dan and Utsuho romance

Rather than toning down, more like keeping it like that, serious issues and angst thrown here and there at all times but the atmosphere will be kept light and romantic, until the entrance of PT at least.

@ Senpai - Just don't make it too angsty and dark. Everyone appreciates some serious issues here and there, but no one wants to read a light hearted/serious story jumping the shark and injecting everyone with the GD virus.

Still, I'm most interested in how you'll turn them into a nakama. In the novel, the girls are nice enough to each other and even offer to do favors for each other (Charlotte cheers up Cecilia, Rin offers to cook sweet dumplings for her when she wanted low fat desserts etc etc)

Side note - Do you really think Ange and Kuu are mean enough to place them in actual lethal traps? They only said they would be killed to make them put an actual effort in escaping. If they knew it was mostly harmless they wouldn't be trying to escape so hard or do things like Irish did.

Besides, this is better than the one where they get placed in actual lethal traps and they use more inhumane methods to escape (For example, Irish uses the trap to break his thumb in order to slip it through, rather than use it to break the bindings). Besides, most of the experiments later border on ridiculous (Ichika being sprayed with catnip then locked into a room full of cats) or borderline idiotic (Irish being forced to wear bunny ears after they get super glued on him).
